Ameritania Hotel New York is an art nouveau architectural treasure in the heart of Midtown Manhattan's entertainment and business districts. CRSHotels.com recommends the Ameritania for guests who enjoy historic architecture and a great location, just around the corner from Broadway and a few blocks from prime shopping on New York's Fifth Avenue.

Art Nouveau was popularized in the late 1800s and early 1900s by artists who rebelled against the classic, uptight, formal approach to design. Art Nouveau buildings often have asymmetrical shapes, arches and curved forms, mosaics, and stained and curved glass. The Ameritania is a beautiful representation of the Art Nouveau architecture.

Located in the Theatre District on the corner of 54th Street and Broadway, the Ameritania Hotel New York is very popular with the hip, theater-going crowd. Even business travelers and other non-theater lovers will find the hotel convenient to many of New York's biggest attractions. The hotel is just five blocks from Central Park, two blocks from the Museum of Modern Art, and five blocks from Times Square. The Jacob Javitz Convention Center is also 10 minutes by taxi.

The hotel offers 219 rooms, designed with sleek, modern lines. Amenities include: cable TV with remote control and pay-per-view movies, individual air conditioning controls, marble bathroom, CD player, alarm/radio, two-line telephone with data port, and wireless Internet access. The hotel also offers valet laundry and guest laundry services, parking (fee applies), concierge services, tour desk, and access to a gym located a half a block away (fee applies).
